This homeowner of this 1908 Portland, Oregon home noticed a small amount a water was seeping into their basement.

During our inspection of Will’s 1908 home, we discovered a small amount of water seeping into the basement. Additionally, the walls showed significant spalling, with the original brick exposed in several areas beneath a thick skim coat. While the home is finished, these issues posed a risk to the structural integrity and overall safety of the property.

Our System Design Specialist, Mike O’Brien, quickly scheduled an appointment with the homeowner as soon as they called TerraFirma. After spending more than an hour in the crawl space, he concluded that to prevent water damage; the area would need to be encapsulated with drain tile, and 120 mil thick VaporLoc Elite liner.

Along with encapsulating more than 1,000 square feet, Production Foreman Brad Peterson and his crew also removed the old, wet, and mildew-ridden insulation that was doing more harm than good.
